"Aren't you afraid he'll abandon you, this pawn on his chessboard?"
The man in black, upon hearing Wang Tianhao's words, took a sip of red wine and casually asked.
"How is that possible? He still needs to rely on Bai Xiaofan's hatred for me, to lure Bai Xiaofan to the Capital City. If I were to die, Bai Xiaofan would be even less likely to come. Moreover, my cultivation technique has already reached the fourth stage. Once I break through to the fifth stage, it's not just Bai Xiaofan I won't fear—even that old Wu would mean nothing to me!"
Wang Tianhao smiled confidently. The moment his words fell, a surge of black energy suddenly rose around him, enveloping his entire body, making it impossible for anyone to discern his facial features.
"Not bad, truly worthy of being someone admired by the master. Keep training. I'll take my leave now!"
The man in black, satisfied with Wang Tianhao's state, nodded approvingly before vanishing in a flash.
